COSI Toledo has asked that a levy request for the science center be placed on the Lucas County November General Election ballot.
The request is for a five-year, one-sixth (.16) mill property tax levy. This is the same levy COSI has sought in the past two general elections.
COSI's request will be reviewed by the Lucas County Citizens Levy Review Committee in the near future. The committee has scheduled a meeting for August 6, 2008. It will then make a recommendation to Lucas County commissioners on whether or not to approve the issue to the ballot. The commissioners must approve or reject levy requests by August 21.
